Amnesty
Amnesty Means…
You will NOT be disciplined for Liberty Way violations that took place in circumstances where you experienced, witnessed, or committed sexual misconduct.
Why Does Amnesty Matter?
The Amnesty policy allows you to share your experiences with the Office of Equal Rights & Title IX without fear of disciplinary action from the University for Liberty Way violations related to your case.
Who Does it Apply To?
Amnesty applies to complainants, respondents, witnesses, and all those involved in our process. We want everyone to be able to share their experience without fear.
Definition of Complainant
Complainant refers to an individual alleged to be a victim of conduct that could violate the Sexual Misconduct Policy.
Definition of Respondent
Respondent refers to an individual who has been reported to be the perpetrator of conduct that could constitute a violation of the Sexual Misconduct Policy.
What Does it Look Like?
Example: A student shares with their RA that they were sexually assaulted at a party they recently attended. The student also shares that they were drinking alcohol at the party. Amnesty means this student will not be disciplined for drinking alcohol (a Liberty Way violation) because it is related to the sexual assault they experienced.
